Poor Harrison Barnes seemed like an afterthought in his own Instagram photo. Last week, Barnes took this year’s Mavericks squad paintballing, a recreation craze that is sweeping NBA circles. Most of the roster was represented in his social media post — even if a few veterans tragically didn’t pass the age limit, as Barnes joked. But in that very photo, it’s Barnes who’s standing all the way to the side, basically rubbing shoulders with the edge of the photo.

Barnes remains the forgotten Maverick this offseason. He’s been the franchise’s best player over the past two seasons, and he’s one of the best teammates Dirk Nowitzki has ever played with, as sad as that sentence is. (Now’s a good time to refer back to this article.) But it’s no real surprise, either.
